Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Poke a few holes in the potato with a fork and put it in the microwave for 4-8 minutes (4 minutes -small, 6 minutes- med, 8 minutes- large) or pop it in the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (18 minutes-small, 21 minutes- med, 25 minutes- large). Depending on your potato (how big and how you like it) this may take a little longer.
While the potato is cooking, fry the vegan burger patty or your choice of meat substitute. I sprinkle mine with the cumin, cayenne and chile powder while they're on the skillet.
When the potato comes out mash it up and do likewise with the meat (if in patty form) then add to bowl, I suggest about half the potato then 1/2 cup applesauce, repeat.
This is my first recipe that I put up so please let me know what you think.
